Major update for Audit requirements - Retain comments, attachments and job status after a user is removed

Previously, when a user was removed, the user’s comments, attachments, and job status records were also deleted. This meant that the user’s activity was lost.

In a major update from April 2024 update, now, the user activity records are retained for comments, attachments, and job status records, even after the user is removed. For example, these records continue to be displayed in:

• Comments and attachments on cells in forms
• Comments and attachments that are part of a maintenance snapshot
• The job status on the Jobs page
• Job status records that are imported and exported using EPM Automate or EPM REST APIs

This change is applicable to only Enterprise Profitability and Cost Management, Financial Consolidation and Close, FreeForm, Planning, Tax Reporting.

Major business benefit of this update is that user activity records are retained even after a user is removed for audit purposes and to keep history of the user actions.

Thank you!
